- Increased accessibility with enhanced features to ensure that everyone can easily locate important information from live hearings to a glossary of terms.
- Responsive layout that is mobile-friendly for the first time, improving access on multiple device types.
- Improved navigation with a user-friendly interface, Utah-centric graphics, and intuitive design, where users can now find key information more quickly and efficiently. The streamlined navigation allows for easy access to all sections of the website.
